Narconon Arrowhead’s Drug Rehabilitation Program Success Story

Thanks to the technology here at Narconon Arrowhead's Drug Rehabilitation Program, I have grown to be self-confident. I feel happy from the accomplishments I’ve had. For many years there’s been a battle in my head between destructive, negative thoughts which became actions and those thoughts of being productive. Due to the drug addiction, the negative thoughts and actions overpowered my mind, body and most of all my soul. However, at this drug rehab I’ve fought my own depression, my own suppressions and I’ve fought those agnostic thoughts or actions. I write and say again, many thanks to this drug rehab program. I acknowledge the fact that I am responsible for my acts, my problems, distresses, and stresses have lessened. I live in faith, hope, serenity and most of all my soul is in peace and free of any repression or suppression. V.A.

Heroin Addiction and Addiction

Heroin Addiction
With regular heroin use, tolerance develops. This means the abuser must use more heroin to achieve the same intensity or effect. As higher doses are used over time, physical dependence and addiction develop. With physical dependence, the body has adapted to the presence of the drug and withdrawal symptoms may occur if use is reduced or stopped. Withdrawal, which in regular abusers may occur as early as a few hours after the last administration, produces drug craving, restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea and vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (‘old turkey’), kicking movements (‘kicking the habit’), and other symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 72 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health is occasionally fatal, although heroin withdrawal is considered much less dangerous than alcohol or barbiturate withdrawal.

Drug Rehab Help and Addiction

Drug Rehab Help
In terms of drug rehab help, help itself is one of the issues addressed. Addicts often feel betrayed on the subject of help. They feel they have failed to help themselves. Help offered by their dealers and fellow drug friends have had the opposite effect and simply led toward further destruction of their lives and health. Family, friends, and sometimes professionals have all had their attempts at helping the individual. The addict by the time he or she reaches drug rehab often feels help is no longer possible. At Narconon Arrowhead one of the first things to be rehabilitated is the individual’s ability to reach for and accept help. True help exists in the individual gaining the skills and abilities necessary to help themselves, and then in helping their families and loved ones. Help is a two way street of giving and receiving.

 

Prescription Drugs and Addiction

Prescription Drugs
Drugs, including prescription drugs, are essentially poisons. The amount taken determines the effect. A small amount acts as a stimulant, a greater amount acts as a sedative, and an even larger amount acts as a poison and can kill. This is true of any drug, including prescription drugs. Only the amount needed to achieve the desired result differs. Prescription drugs along with illegal drugs block off all sensations, the desirable ones with the unwanted. They may of short term value in handling pain, but they also work to wipe out ability, alertness, and muddy one’s thinking.

 

Abuse and Addiction

Abuse
Abuse and Addiction? Where is the line between the two and what is the difference? In terms of drug use, ‘abuse’ is the harmful or illegal use of non-medicinal use of drugs or alcohol. If we define addiction as a mental or physical dependence or drugs or alcohol we can see that the lines are often blurred. Many people feel Drug Rehab is only for those with an addiction. A comprehensive drug rehab such as Narconon Arrowhead will also address those with an abuse problem and in fact many people who feel they only have an abuse problem are in fact in the deadly grasp of addiction without realizing it. Drug abuse is always part of the addiction cycle. A quality rehab program is able to evaluate the underlying causes of substance abuse problems and help the abuser put workable solutions into place before their entire life crumbles around them. Narconon Arrowhead successfully helps the individual help themselves – no matter the stage of abuse or addiction.
